Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

What I found:

Shinto architecture.

Your links are cool too !!! I think now the major issue is to create a japan-like texture set that corresponds with this kind of design... Is there someone who know where it is possible to download, or do I need to build it by myself ??

Shambler Man,

A site link to photos of old Khymer was the direct reference point for the outer areas in my last map.

Hmm

I've looked around for a good japanese texture set but have not found one, so i'm making one from various sources including daikatana episode 4, but so far it's not turning out so well.

...stop trolling and go make sure the code on your D3 custom level review site is up to scratch.

PS: Please push SP, already DM focus is bleh!

I Was Thinking The Same.

I hope there is a large and qualitative enough D3 community to give Shambler a reason to revive his sight.

My complaints about D3 are strictly about the Monster placement and a few other nitpicks. I thought the emmersive feel and the art media used in it were incredible, and there was definitely enough content in it, perhaps enough to push back the trend towards shorter games.

Yes, His 'sight' Just May Improve

if the mappers come out and support D3! Meh Anglais sux . . .

Meh.

Two points:

1. Thanks for the encouragment to start a D3 site. I really liked the game and would like to see good maps for it, but I don't think I'm getting back into the site thing. Also, it will have plenty of support already....my preference was always for offering support where it was really needed.

2. As for the "Do you ever map from these inspirations" comments, I stand by that. I think CZG summed it up the best =).

Ya...

I would say, czg == fapmeister, except that czgd302 will blow everyone away...

...czgd301 will be bad concept level.

Long enough to let you finish him off the proper way at least.
